I Am Thankful For My Stall

[kimini 175]

I am thankful for this post and @innersurfergirl's "Embrace the Stall" post.

I'm also thankful for any post about a stall that was posted more than a couple of months ago, and here is why:

First I read the original post, filled with angst, frustration and fear that something is wrong and questions about whether they will lose any more weight. Then, I scroll down and look at their ticker. It usually reflects a significant amount of weight loss, proving that they not only broke their stall, but are successfully on their way to, and sometimes at, their goal!

I have not had a true stall yet (only a minor bump), but I know exactly where I will go for inspiration when I do!

Thanks everyone for all your thoughts, good, bad and ugly, regarding stalls!

Yes, the stalls come and they go away in their own time ....

I've had 4-5 stalls by now, and then I lost more weight, again

I too was worried when the first one happened, and this thread and the "Embrace the Stall" thread really helped me.

Inner Surfer Girl explains it so well.

I am thankful for both threads.

A couple of days does not a stall make. When the scale doesn't move for 3 weeks, THEN you're in a stall. Step away from the scale for a few days. You're going to drive yourself batty.

I had a two week stall and only 7wks out but I think when my food phase changed a stall appeared BUT I want to lose at a pace I can build up too. I am not much of a physically person..exercise and such but since surgery I have increased activity, park farther from work and stores, and even do more activities from the kids. My stalls are not a worry for me because I haven't been a scale obsessed person but my inches and moving down in clothes sizes. All good in this neighborhood.

I'm grateful for my last stall. I dropped a size right afterwards and am now comfortably in a 16 pant. expecting stall number 3 to start soon if it hasn't already.
